Statement on Travis County Republican Party Chairman-Elect

Wednesday, March 9th, 2016 @ 3:27PM

Robert Morrow is an embarrassment to the Travis County Republican Party. His vulgar, profanity-laced outbursts in no way represent my values, the values of our party, or the beliefs of Republican voters. While the increased voter participation brought on by the competitive presidential race is widely considered a boon for democracy, it is also an unfortunate reminder that elections have consequences. Republicans must do a better job of engaging our voters and educating the electorate on the importance of the role of the Travis County Republican Party Chairman.

I stand with the many Republicans in our community who have condemned Mr. Morrow’s behavior, and I call on him to do the honorable thing and allow allow someone else to become the Travis County Republican Party Chairman.
